Producing 2k/month in cashflow What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

One hard money lender told me they don't do loans of that nature, and I am meeting with a different one tomorrow.Curious if anyone has any solutions.Thanks! 

If it's a good income producing property, you could get up to 75% cash out of the value.

Forced appreciation which produced more equity and greater potential cashflow Lessons learned?

I wonder if other mixed-use landlords have clauses in leases that address the mixed nature.

Of course they'll look at conventional ways to qualify you and your future spouse, but they may even look at the future rental income of the other units (if they're vacant) or current income they produce.  

The Tampa Bay area is more than likely not your market with those buying criteria.You will have to put meaningful sweat equity and be creative in your leasing (MTR, rent by room etc) to produce a 3bd SFH  <200K purchase price that cash flows. 

What kind of taxes he will incur depends on the nature of your "partnering." 

So for example a $550k 3/2 home will produce $55-65k in gross rents.

I got voodoo'd by this on the very last house I bought, where I am *certain* the bank would have come down another $2k but the selling agent magically produced another offer that was going to come up $1k from the bank's offer in order to "entice" me to take the bank's "final" offer.
